I haven't yet played the map, but something i noticed graphically, is that the small wall-covered segmets in the upper part are the exact same shape as the terrain on the lower part, nice design.

In the lower part you can produce a huge amount of reactors and energy right to the beginning because you cannot go forward for the moment.
In the upper part start building collectors and use the ore/ac it is quite cheap compared to cannons. two mortal, one cannon and a spayer will do to keep the creeper behind the wall and you should have enough time to buld reactors in the upper part too.
a forge can be a good idea too.

Hope this helps :) ;D

what about the no build areas below because of the remotes, creeper grid? thanks

This should be clear by the conversation. you can make "non-build-areas" in the south to "save-build-areas" by "using" (terraforming) the remote-controls in the north.

can you please give me a step by step process of how you beat this? thanks

For those that the instructions in the game are inadequate:

The level 10 walls up top match up with areas down below. Terp the insides up and the areas below become safe. Beware that the AI will keep trying to terp them down. The AI terps are invulnerable, all you can do is keep terping the land back up. It's a pain.

It is impossible to advance in the south in any area you haven't terped in the north.

The initial spores are dangerous, after that they're just a pest.

Hint: Once you have control of territory up north don't put terps on the PZs--they're too good. They'll terp the land back to where it's supposed to be and stop, letting the AI terp push it back down again.
